'''[[Main Page|Home]] * [[Engines]] * Deep BASIC'''
'''Deep BASIC''', (Deep Basic)<br/>
a 16-bit chess program by [[Thomas McBurney]], written in [[Basic#QuickBASIC|QuickBASIC 4.5]] to run under [[MS-DOS]].
The development started in December 2002, and was the author's first attempt at a chess program, released as [[:Category:Open Source|open source]] in May 2003. Deep BASIC comes with an own [[GUI]] and features [[Alpha-Beta|alpha-beta]] with [[Quiescence Search|quiescence search]],
and an [[Opening Book|opening book]]. It considers [[Material|material]] to decide about [[Lazy Evaluation|lazy evaluation]], and otherwise takes positional [[Evaluation|evaluation]] terms under account,
such as [[Mobility|mobility]], [[Pawn Structure|pawn structure]] and [[King Safety|king safety]] <ref>deepbasic.zip\CHESS8.BAS</ref>.
